Hi Colleen. Your owl is a Great Horned Owl. Long Eared Owls look quite different and are uncommon here. Long Eared Owls have very long “ear” tufts, a different face pattern and appear long and lanky compared to a Great Horned. You can view the Long Eared Owl here and also find the Great Horned Owl: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Long-eared_Owl#
Thanks Gary! I’m relatively new to birding and use my books but some of the pics and descriptions leave me between two birds… I always appreciate you sharing your knowledge!
